ETTL Portland Cement Concrete Testing

ETTL owns and maintains equipment and has skilled personnel available for performing such Portland Cement concrete tests and design procedures as:

1. Making, curing and testing concrete cylinders.
2. Flexural strength testing of beams.
3. Determining unit weight, air content and slump of concrete.
4. Testing of aggregates for soundness, abrasion, specific gravity and gradation.
5. Design of Portland Cement concrete mixes.
6. Determining penetration resistance of hardened concrete.
7. Determining rebound number of hardened concrete.

At right, above, an ETTL technician performs a slump test during construction of the Neiman Marcus National Distribution Center in Longview, Texas. In addition to making a subsurface investigation and carrying out an environmental site assessment for this project, ETTL performed many CME tasks, including: testing of fill;
checking rebar in tilt-wall sections; monitoring of concrete, checking its air content, slump testing it,
and running compression tests on sample cylinders; as well as monitoring roofing installation.
